Oh dear :D I realise the error I made - 1m passengers indeed, not 2m

Still one almighty boost.

" Three fully utilised SOU based aircraft could be around 2m passengers a year which catapults the airport into major regional status if this was to come to pass."
the trick is the phrase "fully utilised" - that's a very big step up in available seats. |

Search for airside ops manager Jeremy Edmunds on LinkedIn, he's posted three great pictures of the aircraft lined up. Unfortunately I can't post them here yet due to insufficient posts.

There was a poster on the airport FB group a few weeks ago suggesting that an easyjet base was to be announced and they had heard this from crew at LGW who were being transferred down to SOU, we shall see!

"maximising aircraft utilisation would surely come from the addition of domestic departures to NCL, EDI and MAN, along with AMS and CDG. The KLM and Loganair services could be significantly
impacted." Agreed - Loganair won't go head to head with EasyJet |

While I admire the optimism and enthusiasm of many of the posters, I wouldn’t read anything at all into crew room rumours.
|
Or airport puff pieces. What matters is what EZY make this summer. Nothing will be finalised yet for next year.
|
Whilst never say never of course to any future basing and that is surely the airports end goal, it’s more likely in the short term that we will see some added easyJet routes for W23/24 (CDG, MAN) and S25 (AGP, BCN, BOD, NCE) as examples from away bases. Would imagine easyJet will build up to around a dozen away based routes just as they did with BHX before potentially committing further. Also wouldn’t be surprised to see EZY GLA go double daily.

Its critical that SOU management get on the case and promote the airport more. |

Stewyb ,No one can knock your optimistic view for the airport ,but Easy need to see the loads for the S24 from SOU (hopefully good) to see if there is a long term future at the airport. With the rapidly expanding BOH operation I'm sure there is room for maneuvering with destinations within SOU operational capabilities.

Return seats available per day with various models : Loganair 5 x Daily J31=190 seats 5 x Daily J41=290 seats 3 x Daily ER4=294 seats flybe 4 x Daily Q400 = 624 seats easyJet Only 2 x Daily A319 = 624 seats That's a different world IMHO, if they can do this, it's evidence that the future would be much more easyJet and less Loganair. |
We have heard snippets on here that easyjet GLA is going well with decent loads so a double daily in the future could be an option. The extra daily rotation with a 319 would be the seat equivalent to LM x 3 daily summer timetable
